Came from out of town for a wedding. A block of rooms were set aside and they are pet friendly (brought our pug). My wife and I had a communication breakdown between ourselves, this led to the hotel staff to jump through hoops to rectyify our screw-up. The staff came through with flying colors. Great beds, flat screen, super shower.... More

We spent the Memorial Day weekend at this trendy hotel in the riverwalk area of downtown Milwaukee. This is an excellent hotel. The lobby had a fresh smell to it at all times. It is located in the riverwalk area and many places are a short walk from the hotel. The lobby has trendy bar and a pool table. There... More

Great place for young couples and they take pets! Our puppy was the hit of the hotel, people here are friendly, staff is great! Lobby is fun and savvy, great courtyard to relax and let the puppy run. Only issue is customers being loud in the hallways in the wee hours! Love the bliss products in the bathroom! You can... More

I was pleasantly surprised by the great location and recently updated amenities. My only compliant is that it was more money than I wanted to spend. On the higher end for just Milwaukee..

Aloft is a retro, modern hotel in downtown Milwaukee with a hip vibe. The hotel lobby bar and sitting area are very cool and the lobby scene is hopping w/ activity. The elevator floor is a piece of interactive art that changes shapes based on your foot falls ---kinda like a mood ring. The room we stayed in overlooked the... More

Stayed at this hotel because of proximity to Bradley Center. I was very happy with the rate. Arrived and was given parking options by the valet. And shockingly (in my experience), he didn't push hard for the valet option. We decided to valet anyway based on our schedule, and the entire valet staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Upon arrival,... More

To get this out of the way, the standard rooms are small, and walls are definitely thin. I think the hotel more than made up for its flaws, though, with neat design and efficient uses of spaces. The ironing board, for example, was hidden in the giant multipurpose headboard of the bed. I understand this small, efficient room type might... More

The Aloft is design similarly to other hotels of the same brand, which is in loft style. The location of the hotel is fine and its nice that they offer free wireless internet in the rooms that worked very well. The only negative from my point of view is that the hotel does not have a full service restaurant, though... More

For $109/ night, can't beat the cleanliness. Very thin walls. Walking distance to Water St. Bars/ restaurants. Also walking distance to Hoffbrauhaus. Nnot bad, not bad at all. Female bartender seemed miserable every time we saw her.

This was my first time to Milwaukee. Kristi, the front desk attendant, was super nice. I asked for food / bar recommendations and she recommended a great burger joint on N Water Street and a few things to do before my ball game. The room was HUGE and nicely decorated. Only problem is that there is a construction site nearby,... More
